To change your life is a choice

May 23, 2010 by DianeCorriette

If you are thinking about changing your life then nothing happens until you stop thinking about it and actually set the intention to do it because to change your life is a choice you have to make to begin.

I knew I wanted to change my life for years before I managed to get round to taking that first step and doing it. It is amazing how long I tolerated not being happy and not living a great life. Sometimes I get a little annoyed with myself when I think about the years I wasted hating the way I looked instead of enjoying life. Sometimes I wonder if I should write for all the teenagers out there as much as for my fellow middle aged woman!

Getting annoyed about the past doesn’t help and it definitely robs me of my altogether fabulous aura and shuts down my spiritual connection with my soul. So I allow myself to be frustrated because I don’t believe there is any point in just dismissing it, but I only allow myself minutes now. When I first started on this journey I would allow myself a week or two, then a few days, then a day, then hours, now it is minutes. That’s progress!

Once I made the decision to stop focusing on the past (because the best way to stop living in the past is to just simply decide to stop) and bring myself back to the present moment I can go back to appreciating my life right now.

What you will also find is once you set your intention to change your life the universe will work with you and support you in making the transition but sending lessons, challenges, obstacles and open doors your way – each one has its lessons to learn whether a chance opportunity supplies you with a new job or you lose your job forcing you to change. Believe it or not both those events are wonderful….. from the altogether fabulous perspective anyway!

I made the choice to change my life and it was a great choice to make because it made me happy – and when we are happy life is so much more fun to live through.

What choice do you need to make in your life right now? Feel free to share it in the comments below.

About Diane Corriette

I write on this self development blog about building self confidence, and living a life of full self expression where you are free to be you. Being able to be confident is not so much about how you think but what you feel. To successfully build self confidence you must use your thoughts to create an image of who you want to be, and your emotions to help you feel this amazing new you and then visualise & focus on it until it becomes your reality.
